The AlIantl,ns Tree War.

The AliantIius Tree War.
Considerable excitement was created
in this city last week by a contest over
the cutting down Of an alianthns tree.
1t appears that some years ngo the Coun-
ell passed an ordinance requiring that
all of these trees should be removed from
our public streets. One, however, re-
manned in front of the residence of Mr..
John s. Holeombe, on York street. Re-
Gently, the wife of Mr.. 8. @. Hoppock,
whose residence adioins Mr.. Holcombe's,
complained of the odor emitted by the
tree in question, and the authorities
were requested to have the tree cut
down. Efforts were made to prevent
this, ard the question was referred to
the Board of Health, which refused to
have anything to do with ii, as it was by
ordinance declared to be the business of
the Mayor and Street Committee. Fl
nalIy, on Wednesday evening of last
week the tree was cut down under direc-
tion Of the Mayor. A large crowd as
sembled. Frank Thwaite, who in the
interests Of Mr.. Holcombe, attempted to
interfere with the removal Of the tree,
was arrested and fined $50, on failure ia
pay which he was sentenced to seven
days in the lookup. Mr.. Theo. F.
Skillmau, SON law Of Mr.. Holcombe,
was also arrested on complaint Of Mayor
Coryell for interference, ETC., and held
in $500. Considerable feeling has grown
out Of this incident, and it has also
afforded some amusement for people
who like to see sensation. 2
